Hi CMS, I am trying to modify a suite (Which was running on MONSOON) to run on ARCHER2. I am carrying forward Iodine development work by Ewa (she has done all development on MONSOON and a rose suite of her job is u-cn823). I have taken a copy of job u-cn823 and the new one is u-cp798. How to modify this suite to run on ARCHER2? I think I have to modify ‘Host Machine’ for ARCHER2 and some (maybe more!) directories to run this on ARCHER2. Can you please point me to any page available to modify the suite to run on ARCHER2? I think some instructions to modify a Monsoon suite to run on ARCHER2 were available on [http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/Archer2](http://cms.ncas.ac.uk/wiki/Archer2) but it seems this page is moved somewhere. Regards, Alok ---

Hi Grenville, Thanks for pointing to this page. I have followed the instructions and modified the suite (i.e. u-cp798). The suite I am converting is a copy of a Monsoon suite. I am unable to submit the job on ARCHER2 and getting the following error message: [INFO] REGISTERED u-cp798 → /home/akpandeyjnu/cylc-run/u-cp798 [FAIL] cylc validate -o /tmp/tmph4sFgn --strict u-cp798 # return-code=1, stderr= [FAIL] Jinja2Error: [FAIL] File “/home/akpandeyjnu/cylc-run/u-cp798/site/archer2.rc”, line 159, in top-level template code [FAIL] execution time limit = {{CLOCK}} [FAIL] UndefinedError: ‘AINITIAL’ is undefined Please help me.

Dear CMS, I think the problem is with startdump file and I have modified the archer2.rc file in directory /home/akpandeyjnu/cylc-run/u-cp798 with the startdump file - ‘/work/n02/n02/alok/ukca\_start/ce185a.da20091201\_00’ but after running the ‘rose suite-run’ the archer2.rc file automatically restores to previous one and still getting the same error. Is it defined somewhere in rose? Please point me the directories for CMIP6\_AEROCHEM\_EMS, CMIP6\_BIOG\_EMS, CHEM\_INIT\_FILE, SST\_SICE\_ANCIL directories on archer2. Regards, Alok ---

Hi Alok, Any changes you make to the suite must be in the `~/roses/u-cp798` directory. Change the `site/archer2.rc` file in there. The files under `~/cylc-run` are then generated from these. You should find all the equivalent ancil paths under the central UMDIR on ARCHER2: `/work/y07/shared/umshared` e.g. `/projects/ancils/cmip6` on Monsoon is `/work/y07/shared/umshared/cmip6` on ARCHER2 Regards, Ros. ---

Hi Alok, The error is because it can’t find the compile configs for ARCHER2. We do not have UM vn11.0 installed on ARCHER2. You will need to upgrade to a newer version of the UM. Regards, Ros ---

Alok There is a procedure for upgrading a suite - you appear to not have followed it. Please look at [Upgrading — Rose Documentation 2.0.0 documentation](https://metomi.github.io/rose/doc/html/tutorial/rose/furthertopics/upgrading.html). Also to fix the problem with the STASHmaster: 1. Add the following to the `rose-suite.conf` file: ```auto [file:app/um/file/STASHmaster] source=fcm:um.xm_br/dev/ewabednarz/vn11.0_DEST_plus_Iodine/rose-meta/um-atmos/vn11.0/etc/stash/STASHmaster@HEAD ``` 1. Remove the following lines from the `app/um/rose-app.conf` file: ```auto [file:STASHmaster] source=fcm:um.xm_br/dev/ewabednarz/vn11.0_DEST_plus_Iodine/rose-meta/um-atmos/vn11.0/etc/stash/STASHmaster@HEAD ``` And obviously will need to upgrade that vn11.0 branch first.

Hi Grenville, Thanks for pointing towards upgrading documentation. I have tried to upgrade the current suite (u-cp798) and followed the instructions. But fcm\_make\_um has failed. I thought I am missing some steps, so I have created a new copy of the MONSOON Iodine job (u-cn823), upgraded the suite to 13.0 and followed [Porting](https://cms.ncas.ac.uk/archer2/porting/) documentation. The new suite is u-cr052. I am getting the same error message in both suites (u-cp798 and u-cr052). The job.err file has the following information: [FAIL] um/src/atmosphere/UKCA/photolib/calcjs\_mod.F90: merge results in conflict [FAIL] merge output: /home/akpandeyjnu/cylc-run/u-cr052/share/fcm\_make\_um/.fcm-make/extract/merge/um/src/atmosphere/UKCA/photolib/calcjs\_mod.F90.diff [FAIL] source from location 0: (none) [FAIL] source from location 1: svn://pumatest/um.xm\_svn/main/branches/dev/lukeabraham/vn11.0\_ukca\_linox\_tweaks/src/atmosphere/UKCA/photolib/calcjs\_mod.F90@51068 [FAIL] !!! source from location 3: svn://pumatest/um.xm\_svn/main/branches/dev/ewabednarz/vn11.0\_DEST\_plus\_Iodine/src/atmosphere/UKCA/photolib/calcjs\_mod.F90@97107 [FAIL] fcm make -f /home/akpandeyjnu/cylc-run/u-cr052/work/20091201T0000Z/fcm\_make\_um/fcm-make.cfg -C /home/akpandeyjnu/cylc-run/u-cr052/share/fcm\_make\_um -j 4 [mirror.target=login.archer2.ac.uk](http://mirror.target=login.archer2.ac.uk):cylc-run/u-cr052/share/fcm\_make\_um mirror.prop{config-file.name}=2 # return-code=2 2022-09-29T14:24:49Z CRITICAL - failed/EXIT I believe it is a little tricky to run as it is a copy of the MONSSON suite with UMv11.0 which is not available on ARCHER2. _u-cr001_ Meanwhile, I have also tried to take a copy of u-bd366 (An ARCHER TS2000 nudged suites - GA7.1 StratTrop suites - UKCA) and upgraded it following [Upgrading — Rose Documentation 2.0.0 documentation](https://metomi.github.io/rose/doc/html/tutorial/rose/furthertopics/upgrading.html).

Hi Alok, Regarding `u-cr001`: That is a copy of a UM11.2 suite so all you need to do is port it to ARCHER2 using the [Porting](https://cms.ncas.ac.uk/archer2/porting/) instructions. You don’t need to upgrade the suite as UM11.2 is installed on ARCHER2. You can’t run a suite at one UM version (e.g. vn13.0) with code branches from a different UM version (e.g. vn11.2) Regards, Ros. ---

Hi Alok, Who are you working with to take forward the Iodine development work previously started by Ewa? Is it the same group that Ewa was working with? - the Lancaster UKCA group?? If so why can’t you get access to Monsoon to continue the work on there rather than have to port to ARCHER2? Cheers Ros. ---

Hi Ros, Many thanks for your help with this! I think I should explain: the developments were actually initially done on ARCHER1, and were only moved to Monsoon once ARCHER1 was shutting down so the work can continue, and then never moved back to ARCHER2 (as I was changing institutions/projects). Now we have a NERC grant that Alok is working on that includes a lot of ARCHER2 time for production runs (after some further developments to the scheme), since Monsoon is not really meant to be used for production runs. Do you reckon it would be possible to get UM vn11.0 installed on ARCHER2? Is that something that CMS could potentially assist with? Many thanks, Ewa ---

Hi Ewa, Alok, Thanks for the explanation Ewa. One of the reasons we installed from UM11.1 onwards on ARCHER2 was because there was a significant change that went into the UM that means the setup/configuration of UM11.0 is different to versions 11.1+ so would take more work for us to install and we just don’t have the resources to be able to port & support all UM versions unfortunately. Upgrading your suite from UM11.0 to UM11.1 shouldn’t be too much trouble. We and other users have successfully upgraded suites. I would suggest trying to upgrade the suite one version to UM11.1 which we do support on ARCHER2. Whilst we encourage people to not get too far behind in UM versions, trying to upgrade to UM13.0 is just way too big a jump to make in one step and certainly won’t work with your UM11.0 branch without a lot of work. Moving it to UM11.1 hopefully won’t be very difficult. Alok, I’d suggest to please try upgrading the suite to UM11.1 following the instructions Grenville linked to above (ie. running `rose app-upgrade -a vn11.1` in the `app/fcm_make_um` and `app/um` directories). Then port the suite to ARCHER2 using the porting instructions. Remove Luke’s branch: `branches/dev/lukeabraham/vn11.0_ukca_linox_tweaks` as that went into UM11.1 code release. Replace Mohit’s branch with the vn11.1 equivalent: `branches/dev/mohitdalvi/vn11.1_ukca_fix_o3_ste` You will then need to upgrade Ewa’s branch to vn11.1. To do this create a new branch: - `fcm bc DEST_plus_Iodine fcm:um.x-tr@vn11.1` - `fcm co fcm:um.x-br/dev//vn11.1_DEST_plus_Iodine` - `cd vn11.1_DEST_plus_Iodine` - `fcm merge fcm:um.x-br/dev/ewabednarz/vn11.0_DEST_plus_Iodine` You will get some merge conflicts, where FCM can’t automatically merge lines. You will need to manually resolve these using the command `fcm conflicts`. Regards, Ros. ---

Hi Ros, Thanks for the responses. I am working with the Lancaster UKCA group and we decided to switch to ARCHER2 for all Iodine development work. I believe, Ewa has explained the requirement of using ARCHER2. Many Thanks Ewa! Thanks for explaining upgradation and porting nicely. I thought initially - the most recent update will be more helpful – that is not the case. I am going to take a new copy of the Ewa job again and upgrade it to UM11.1 and then port the suite to ARCHER2. Meanwhile, I tried to run a copy of u-bd366 and followed porting instructions.

Hi Alok, If you look in the old `archer.rc` file you’ll see it sets these variables. These are non-standard variables so not present in our provided template \*.rc files so you need to add these yourself in the appropriate places in the archer2.rc file. Cheers, Ros. ---

The job.err file has the following error message: ???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!! ERROR ???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!! ? Error code: 1 ? Error from routine: io:file\_open ? Error message: Failed to open file /work/n02/n02/ukca/initial/N96eL85/au917a.da20080901\_00 ? Error from processor: 0 ? Error number: 3 I have not found the directory/file ‘/work/n02/n02/ukca/initial/N96eL85/au917a.da20080901\_00’ on Archer2. Is this error associated with the unavailability of the file or something else? Regards, Alok ---

The ukca directory is under `/work/y07/shared/umshared/` Cheers, Ros. ---

Hi Alok, It means it can’t find/open a file. Have you looked in the `job.out` and/or pe\_output files to see if it tells you which file it’s got a problem with? Regards, Ros. [Next page](https://cms-helpdesk.ncas.ac.uk/t/modification-required-to-run-a-monsoon-suite-on-archer2/709.md?page=2)
